Citrullus lanatus
Crane Yellow Watermelon (90-96 days)
Sustainably Grown Approx. 10 heirloom seeds
The Crane Family here in Sonoma county are famous for their melons. This is a yellow/orange fleshed melon that has been grown in the family now for about 4 generations. It can reach weights of 25 lbs and is almost perfectly round in shape. The flavor is out of this world. It is so sweet, I ate an entire melon when we were cleaning the seeds. It was so juicy, sweet and tender. Not at all grainy like some watermelons can be.
We are the only seed company to carry this melon! You will not find it anywhere else and the family grows a limited supply each year. That means we don't have a great deal of seed for this amazing melon. You want it, don't wait to get it.
California Grown Heirloom Seed
If you have cool nights this is a watermelon to try. We barely have 3 full months of warm summer nights, so producing any melon is a real art form. This strain of watermelon has been perfected to grow in cool nights for over 4 generations.
Out of Stock. The Crane family didn't have any to share this year. No seed for 2013. We will start to grow our own this summer.
